HOLD ME TIGHT: Seven Conversations for a Life-time of Love

This is a workshop for couples, based on compelling research. It's lively, thought provoking, and will help you and your partner develop ways to talk that will build a sense of closeness and safety.

How we talk to each other really matters! And sometimes couples get caught in repetitive patterns, or a "dance" that has its own force. We will learn how to identify unhappy cycles and how to get out of them. In this group we will watch videos of other couples as they find their Demon Dialogues, Raw Spots, and how to connect more safely. Required reading for all participants: Hold Me Tight, by Sue Johnson. We will have in-group writing exercises, and activities to do at home as well.

 This is an educational experience. It supplements couples therapy for people who have had long standing unhappiness in their relationship. It also helps people who find they have trouble every once in awhile, and who want to take aciton before the problems become serious. It's very useful for couples who are in a llife transition, such as becoming parents.

Call to join in this experience!. The cost is $ 560 per couple, with a free follow-up session a month after the course ends.
